Default Pace Car vette

Anybody know who's driving those 97 or 98 indianapolis pace cars on the east coast. I thin kthere are three of that car total. The purple and yellow one. I've seen one in florida, but i've been seeing one in waldorf, MD off and on for a few years.

I have a friend that lives in Danville, PA that has one. He just got done putting a Procharger on it. It already had some Kooks longtubes on it. He just ordered some ET Streets to slap on it.

Wow, they aren't as rare as i thought they were, maybe i was thinking of the older ones (78's was it?). Yeah, the purple and yellow is kinda strange, not my taste, but i'm sure that car "lines all the hoes up".

I saw one at the LVD parking lot when I went up there for the Hemmings show. I think they're ugly IMO.
